Compass Box Whisky Tasting Ticket - Thursday 31st January 2013

The immensely entertaining Chris Maybin of Compass Box whiskies will be coming along on Thursday 31st January to take us through the rich and complex whiskies that make up their range.

For those of you who haven’t come across Compass Box whiskies yet, they are a small, independent, specialist whisky company who make award winning whiskies through the art of blending or vatting. The company was founded by John Glaser and his extensive knowledge of the way oak casks interact with whisky, combined with his innovative thinking, results in a contemporary approach that expands the great traditions of whisky making. This is an ideal tasting to come along to if you’ve never been before as not only will there be a broad spectrum of Scotch whisky styles you will also learn a lot about the important role of wood and maturation in whisky production.

The tasting will be held at Stanton House Hotel, Stanton Fitzwarren (www.stantonhouse.co.uk), and will commence at 7.00 for 7.30pm. Tickets are £13.50 per person, and this also entitles you to a discount of £3 against a bottle of one of the featured whiskies if bought or ordered on the night of the tasting. Tickets are very strictly limited, and allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis and as these tastings usually sell out within hours it is best to book ASAP. Admission to the tasting is by ticket only, and the whiskies tasted will be available to purchase on the night so come prepared.

N.B. We have negotiated special rates at the hotel for anyone who wants to stay overnight after the tasting - contact us for further details of rates.
